So it has come to my attention that it has been eight months since I last posted on this blog. I don't actually know if there are eight months between April and September, and while I could quite simply do the math myself and find out with minimal effort, I'm really too lazy to do so.

Okay, it was seven months. Apparently I did feel like counting.

What has happened in these past seven months? Well, I've been wandering around and about in a bit of a fog. It's not that I haven't wanted to share my great thoughts with my wonderful readers. I simply haven't had any. Any worth reporting about, that is. I suppose that whole not bothering to verify the number of months between September and April should have been evidence of this.

Or perhaps I'm simply setting the standard too high? This blog is entitled "Adam's Reverie" after all. Have I always wandered about in a fog? I don't know. The fog seems stronger these days, but part of it might be because I'm choosing to give in to the fog and ride along with the flow. Of course, if that were the case, I'd have lots of stories for you, so perhaps that isn't actually true.

Are you sure there are seven months between April and September? April is the fourth month, and September is the tenth month... no wait, it's the ninth month. Never mind, I got it.

So what am I up to?

I'm preparing for my senior oboe recital about the same way I prepared for winter quarter juries this year, which is to say not at all. I keep postponing that desperation five-hour practice session I need to do at some point. I think my various accompanists are practicing more than me.

One of the cool things about walking around completely clueless is that you can get away with so much more. Like on Monday morning this week I missed all of my classes because I thought it was Sunday morning. At least that's what I told my bosses and teachers. Now, was it true? Absolutely. I really did think it was Sunday morning.

Wait a second...

Where was I going with this? Sorry, my mind completely blanked.

Ah yes. Things I've been up to. Hmmm... I think that's about the list right there. Been kind of depressed I'm not graduating this year. I do believe some of my students I taught on the island are going to graduate before me.

I need focus. I need a raison d'etre. Any good suggestions?

I know, I'll flip for it.

Heads I'll be good this weekend, tails I'll be selfish.

Heads. Hmmm. Now isn't that a tizzy.

This could require some thought.
